BEGINNINGS OVER AND OVER: FOUR NEW POETS FROM IRELAND

Beginnings Over and Over: Four New Poets presents a significant selection of work by four new poets at the beginning of their writing journeys. Selected by Leanne Quinn from the submissions for the 2024 Dedalus Press Mentoring Scheme, the four poets - Mai Ishikawa, Róisín Leggett Bohan, Emer Lyons, Cal O'Reilly are, in Ouinn's words, writers who are "willing to risk, willing to discover, willing to alter and undermine'.

The Dedalus Press is one of Ireland’s best known and longest running literary imprints, specialising in the best in contemporary Irish poetry and poetry from around the world in translation. The press receives support from The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and is a not-for-profit enterprise dedicated to improving the visibility of poetry and the lot of poets. Dubbed “one of the most outward-looking poetry presses in Ireland and the UK” (UNESCO.org), the press, named for James Joyce’s Stephen Dedalus, is heir to both a classical inheritance and a particularly Irish interpretation of same.
